Benefits Of Single Sex Schools

Imagine that you were in a classroom full of your gender how would you feel? Well, if you feel that you're not ok with that well, In school year 2004-05 122 public schools offered single sex classes and 34 public schools were single sex classes mandatory according to “Old Tactic Gets New Use: Public Schools Separate Boys and Girls.” Article. Close to 70% of kids in single sex classes raised their math and reading scores in “Old Tactic Gets New Use: Public Schools Separate Boys and Girls.” Article. Although this may seem bad and shouldn't happen it's really not. Kids in single sex classes will have more of a chance to succeed than students in non single sex class because of most kids have no problem with this in their school, less discipline, and most of all higher grades.

What’s in everyone's mind is if this technique of having single sex classes would work? “Only 59% of girls in mixed classes were scored as proficient, while 75% of girls in single-sex ones achieved proficiency. Similarly, 37% of boys in coeducational classes scored proficient, compared with 86% of boys in all-boys classes.” (Hutchison 9) When they tried out single sex classes they got positive results. There was a huge difference between single sex classes, and coeducational classes. By viewing the end results it is pretty obvious to see that single sex classes are way more effective than coeducational classes.This will obviously help students become high caliber students in order for them to be ready for college. I believe that students would do way much better in school by having them take single sex classes. This may also affect the days that increase or it may not, due to the coeducational classes we have in public schools. The AUHSD needs to understand that in order to help their students become successful, they need to be willing to do anything in order to make that happen. Which means that they can increase days or separate male and female in order to make them successful and prepared for college. The only negative thing about this is that students might be used to single sex classes , and they might be forced into taking coeducational classes once

In more recent years, our educational system has faced challenges that are leading our country back into segregation. Single-sex education has resurfaced; jeopardizing the gains our ancestors fought so hard for. A few people believe that the biological make-up between genders is significantly different, that having coeducational classes is doing more harm than good. Conversely, there is no proven study that supports these claims; however studies have displayed the exact opposite. Separating genders within the educational system will only perpetuate and magnify

Despite what many think, same-gender schools are starting to show up in public school systems across America. (Guarisco) Some ill-informed members of society believe that same-sex education is the wrong choice for America’s youth. Guarisco states arguments include that segregation leads to more rigid and traditional gender roles. However, schools that have implemented same-gender classes have seen promising results in grades and more support for same-gender education. Also, if a child wishes to attend a single-sex school in America, it must be voluntary. (Guarisco) For American public school systems, same-gender education would be more advantageous because of the higher test scores, decrease in distractions from the opposite gender, and adapting curriculum.

When deciding whether or not to experiment with single-sex classrooms, there are many issues that must be taken into consideration. Those who would be hurt most by this decision would be males. If boys are not able to learn alongside girls, their achievement level would decline and their character development would be hindered. Experimenting with this concept would arise multiple issues and put boys at disadvantages that would put them behind those who are able to learn in coeducational classrooms both educationally and behaviorally; these concerns must be taken into consideration before putting single-sex classrooms into place.

Throughout the years same gender schools have been an expanded issue. Many thought that it would benefit females, and increase their effort in the classroom. However according to Pros and Cons of Single-Sex Education, Jefferson Leadership Academies reversed its same sex curriculum. This was due to their unfortunate test scores. Also, in the real-world society is not divided into genders.

Education is a big part of our society today. Many americans take education very seriously. They want to be very successful in the future and have great careers and have well paying ones as well. Could sending them to a coed school or same sex school ruin their chances or make them better. Have you ever thought that maybe you are sending your child to the wrong type of school? Many people in our generation go straight to public schools and normally they are Coed. Not many people think on a daily basis could my or my child's education be better somewhere else? Could your child be more successful in the future because you went to an all girls or boys school or because you went to a coed school? I think all choices for schools can be a tough decision..

Coed schools prepare kids for the workplace and real world. Carol Lynn Martin, an ASU school of social and family dynamics professeur and ACCES co-director of school relations states, “The cost of single-sex education is not only a burden on schools,

Imagine a school classroom with commotion and people talking loudly. Most likely the picture was boys and girls, co learning in a classroom. Many people think this would be a normal classroom, but fortunately this has not always been the case. Classrooms have evolved greatly in the since of boys and girls gaining the “same and equal” education. With recent research and trials, this has been proven not to be the case. Single-gender education produces better results than coeducational classrooms.

In 2006 federal legislation allowed public school districts to create single- gender schools and classrooms for their students. That was a wise decision considering single sex schools have been proven to benefit students. Although society insist that coed school is a superior learning style and is key to getting better grades they are wrong, single sex schools actually have a better history with the educational performance of their students and due to that their students are acknowledged to obtain a more profound career path.

According to an article from (www.nea.org) “Male dominance in the classrooms may come as no surprise to advocates in single gender education who suggest that boys and girls are regularly treated differently in coeducational settings and that both boys and girls could both benefit from single-gender classrooms. Studies suggest that when boys are in single-gender classrooms, they are more successful in school and more likely to pursue a wide range of interests and activities”. Many would agree with this quote because they feel that males and females learn better and would be more successful separated due to no distractions in the classrooms while others might have different beliefs that both genders could be successful in the same classroom because of the contrasting opinions of others and that could be a big help in preparing them for the “real world” because they would know that everyone would have different opinions about situations that get discussed in a classroom and they would most likely know how to take criticism from both genders.

Boys and girls learn in two different ways. This reason is why having a single sex school is more rewarding than a co-ed school. According to Dr. Schlosser of Breckinridge County Middle School's (Kentucky) the difference between the way boys and girls learn are the type of weather boys and girls prefer.) Boys prefer to learn in a cool, dark room. When there are two different people wanting two different things its hard to please both sides. Boys also learn much slower than what girls learn, this could be a problem for girls in the same class as boys for girls would learn and to move on, but would have to cut back their learning to wait for the boys to learn the same material. Boys also are interested in different subjects than what girls like. Boys are most secretly interested in music, science, and math. According to GreatSchools.com says boys feel girls won’t like them when they know they are interested in other things such as music and math and not baseball, football, and soccer. Many boys won’t show interest in music in a co-ed school. When boys are placed in a single sex school they won’t have the feeling of impressing girls so more boys will show their interest in arts and music. Boys are much better with math and science than what girls are says NASSPE VIII. NASSPE Vlll is single-sex school out of Huston Texas. "The most profound difference between girls and boys is in any brain structure per se, but also in the sequence of

Single-sex schools, specifically primary schools, are more beneficial to students because they facilitate higher test scores, superior academic outcomes, and greater engagement in school activities. Parents and educators have debated since the early nineteenth century whether to educate students in single-sex or co-ed schools. Currents studies have shown that single-sex schools achieve higher in academic success. Students with higher academic success become adults with a brighter future that can benefit society.

Attending coeducational schools can be disadvantageous because the girls get less attention and become less confident, and the boys get less help and becoe less cooperative.

Coeducation is seen as improving educational efficiency (Woody, 1929) and encouraging a positive social relationship between boys and girls.
